• Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, does not believe in cryptocurrencies, calling them a vehicle for scams and a Ponzi scheme.
  • Torvalds was once rumored to be Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, but he clarified it was a joke and denied owning a Bitcoin fortune.
  • Torvalds also dismissed the idea of technological singularity as a bedtime story for children, saying continuous exponential growth does not make sense.

    Its good to see some antileftism once in a while. We need some other perspectives. I didn’t think we’d get it from Linus but here we are.

        Maybe it’s just really lazy spin? I could see it as a creative tactic poorly executed by AI.

      Read that again. Anti-anti-leftism. Not pro leftism, but against the people who are against leftism

      If you’re leftist or not, the people who feel compelled to come out against leftism are usually shit heels.
